Depression

Depression or any ailment can be treated with EFT ( Emotional Freedom Technique )

What is the science behind ‘tapping’?

Like most of the ancient healing arts, this is a forgotten technique.There is a growing body of scientific evidence to suggest that seemingly ‘incurable’ emotional issues can be resolved with TAPPING

Over the past many years, research has revealed that the brain’s stress and fear response could be reduced by stimulating the meridian points used in acupuncture, acupressure, and of course, tapping techniques.Often, a traumatic emotional event can alter our perception of the world and even stop us from finding true love and happiness. What could be more important than releasing negative feelings and being truly in peace with life. Holding on to negative emotions like guilt, anger or fear can cause serious health problems like, hypertension, chronic back pain and degenerative conditions like heart disease and cancer.Generally speaking these overlooked negative emotions can drive a person to eat poorly, not care about their health and develop disturbed relationships.

What is EFT and How Can it Unlock Your Health?

Emotional freedom technique (also referred to as EFT or a form of tapping) is a kind of psychological acupressure. It uses acupuncture/acupressure points to release emotional issues and even physical pain.

In acupuncture, there are 12 major pathways called meridians. The meridians move energy through the body like invisible rivers, flowing deep into the interior of the body through organ systems and skin surfaces.

When the energy flow stops or is blocked, the corresponding internal organ system manifests symptoms of disease.

Along all the meridians, there are places where the energy surfaces on the skin. These are called acupuncture points.

In acupuncture, these points are stimulated with a fine needle. In acupressure, they are stimulated by hand pressure; and, in EFT, meridian tapping with your finger stimulates these points.

But EFT takes things one step further by employing affirmations simultaneously with the tapping solution.

The theory is that addressing your physical or emotional concerns then stating an affirmation that addresses the concern, all while tapping the acupuncture points, helps you to clear the energy block and allow you to restore both your emotional and physical balance.

How Exactly Does EFT Work?

It appears that EFT works by moving trapped, painful memories (be it emotional or physical) from one part of your brain to another.

There’s a part of your brain called the amygdala that is responsible for processing and remembering emotional reactions to events, people, etc. So long as a feeling, memory, or thought is housed in your amygdala, you will continue to react to it.

EFTnses that are trapped in the amygdala and move them to your hippocampus, the area of your brain that stores short- and long-term memories.

So, while the memory is still there in your brain, you no longer react to it. That’s why just a few treatments appear to have a lasting effect.

It’s like having a photo that was taken on a particularly bad day on display in your bedroom. If you have to see it every day when you wake and again when you go to sleep, it’s pretty hard to ignore it.

But if you move the photo to a box in the basement, the photo is still in your house, and you still remember it was taken, but it isn’t front and center every day stirring negative thoughts.
